Perhaps I'm ignorant. I know some of the criticism of Meta: many people don't like the way their products are optimized for engagement. I've heard about their weird AI bots interac…

They're sunglasses so I mainly wear them outside.

I think the most likely case is: this company is labeling images from meta AI use from people who opted-in to share their data with Meta. It's certainly possible that it's somethin…

I'll confess that I like my Meta Ray Ban glasses: I love using them to listen to podcasts at the pool/beach, while riding my bike, and it's cool to snap a quick picture of my kids …

Kitsune provides useful abstractions for modifying your program for runtime updating and tools for automating state transformation between versions of your program. It would be ent…

This was work done as part of my phd thesis. You can take the code and samples that are here https://github.com/kitsune-dsu and play with them. However, I wouldn't consider what ha…

Out of curiosity, what tool did you use to sketch the various architectures for your post?

The vast, vast, vast majority of people who are born with every advantage don't accomplish anything worthy of a profile like this. And I don't dispute that, if she'd been born in a…

Interesting, I've heard people talk about transhumanism and singularitarianism as similar to religions/cults, but those philosophies aren't usually presented with an explicitly spi…
